Important terms to know that deal with the parts of the condominium complex that are outside your unit are "common elements" or "limited common elements". "Limited common elements" are things like balconies and patios, that are used only by the owners and tenants of a single unit. "Common elements" are used by all, such as the parking lots, playground, and pool.
Balconies and patios are “limited common elements”. “Limited common elements” are structurally part of the common building, but are used by only an individual unit owner. It is your responsibility to maintain them in a neat and clean condition. You may not store indoor furniture, bicycles, or other inappropriate items on balconies. Outdoor furnishings such as patio tables and chairs are permitted.
Trash Disposal
All trash must be placed in the dumpsters provided. Unit owners who place their trash on the ground may be charged a $100 fee for each occurrence.
Disposal of furniture or other large items must be coordinated with the Association office, as pickups of large items are scheduled twice a month. Other pickups may be available for an additional charge.
NO commercial or contractor waste is permitted in Association dumpsters. Contact the police and the site office if you observe anyone violating these rules, as your condo fees pay for the trash service. Get a license plate number if possible.
